No, a Michigan mechanics lien should typically only include amounts owed but unpaid for work performed. Adding additional costs, fees, and interest could end up putting the validity of the claim in jeopardy - especially where the contract, itself, didn't allow for interest. Of course, if the matter goes to court and you're successful, it's possible the court might award interest, fees, damages, etc.
Additionally, it's worth noting that the deadline to file a Michigan mechanics lien is 90 days after last furnishing labor or materials to the project. More on Michigan's mechanics lien requirements here: Michigan Mechanics Lien Guide and FAQs.
